The MA-COM MASW-000822-12770T is a SP2T Broadband, high linearity, common anode, PIN diode T/R switch for 0.05 - 6.0 GHz applications, including WiMAX & WiFi. The device is provided in industry standard 3mm MLP plastic packaging. This device incorporates a PIN diode die fabricated with M/A-COM's patented Silicon-Glass HMICTM process. This chip features two silicon pedestals embedded in a low loss, low dispersion glass. The diodes are formed on the top of each pedestal. The topside is fully encapsulated with silicon nitride and has an additional polymer passivation layer. These polymer protective coatings prevent damage and contamination during handling and assembly. This compact 3mm MLP package, SP2T switch offers wideband 0.05 - 6.0 GHz performance with excellent isolation to loss ratio for both Tx and Rx states. The PIN diode provides exceptional 8 W C.W. power handling coupled with 65 dBm IIP3 for maximum switch performance.
